When Xu Jinhuan looked up, he saw a woman who appeared to be from a collateral branch of the Xu family. After being imprisoned, she discovered Xu's mother and Xu Youyou, who were about to eat.

She stormed over angrily, kicking over the food box and slapping it hard across the face.

Seeing this, the other members of the Xu family rushed over in a swarm. They seemed to be trying to break up the fight, but in reality, they took the opportunity to kick Xu's mother a few times to vent their anger.

Xu Youyou pretended to try to dissuade them, but unexpectedly stumbled into a battlefield and was grabbed by the hair and slapped by the woman. The scene was truly miserable.

"What are you doing? You're in jail and you still can't keep quiet. Stop it!"

A constable was drawn over by the noise and, upon seeing the scene, immediately reprimanded the crowd.

Hearing the yamen runners' voices, the group of women finally quieted down, but they still glared fiercely at Xu's mother and Xu Youyou, wishing they could tear a piece of flesh off them.

"Alright, stop glaring at each other. You're setting off tomorrow, so hurry up and eat to get some rest."

Another constable, who was used to this kind of thing, came over with some thin porridge.

As he walked, he urged everyone to place the bowls of porridge outside the prison bars according to the number of people, and then he turned to leave.

"Is this all we get for our meals?" a woman who looked like she was used to a life of luxury asked with dissatisfaction.

The constable rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you're not satisfied, you don't have to eat. At worst, you can go hungry tomorrow and see how long you can survive."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Upon seeing this, the other prisoners, regardless of how thin the porridge was, quickly picked up their own portions, and Xu Jinhuan also grabbed a bowl.

Seeing that the bowl was fairly clean, and although there was little rice in the porridge, there were no stones or grit, she prepared to take a couple of sips. She had choked a little while eating the steamed bun earlier and needed some water.

However, before Xu Jinhuan's lips even touched the rim of the bowl, he heard Xu Youyou's tea-related chatter.

"Second sister, my mother and I are both injured. Could you please bring us two bowls of porridge?"

Xu Jinhuan knew that Xu Youyou's sudden outburst was not just to get her to get the porridge, but also to tell the other people in the cell about her relationship with the Xu family, so that they would also become hostile to her.

Xu Jinhuan hated pretentious people the most during the apocalypse. These people seemed friendly and amiable, but they might stab you in the back at any time, leaving you defenseless.

Xu Jinhuan had suffered a similar loss when the apocalypse first began years ago. If it weren't for her loyal follower, she might have lost her life that time...

Thinking of his poor underlings who had been killed by the zombie king, Xu Jinhuan's mood worsened even more.

Therefore, she had no patience for Xu Youyou and simply rolled her eyes at her.

He retorted, "You injured your face, not your hands or feet. Do you think your injury can move around and now it's moved to another place, making you unable to move?"

Xu Youyou seemed surprised by Xu Jinhuan's words. She subconsciously covered her cheek, which was slowly swelling, and then looked at her mother with a wronged expression.

"Xu Jinhuan, Youyou is your sister. How can you talk to her like that? Don't you have any manners?"

Xu Jinhuan looked up at his mother and said coldly, "I, a homeless child, naturally don't have any family education. Your Xu family has family education, so why don't you hurry up and get your own bowl of porridge?"

Xu's mother choked immediately, and angrily dragged her aching body to get two bowls of thin porridge. She gave one bowl to Xu Youyou and then drank one herself.

Xu Jinhuan picked up her bowl of porridge and prepared to return to the place where she had been resting, only to find that someone was already lying on it, unlike the others who were sitting on the straw with their backs against the wall.

She was lying on the straw, with a frail woman beside her massaging her shoulders.

"Get up, this is where I was just sitting," Xu Jinhuan said coldly.

Unexpectedly, the man opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Jinhuan, and then closed them again. "Now that's where I'm lying, this whole area is mine. Go wherever you want to cool off."

The people around were also talking about the woman's arrogance. They had tried to sit nearby, but she had chased them away.

"This Liu is only arrogant because her family owns a martial arts school and she knows some kung fu. She even needs people to massage her shoulders and back."

"Hey, you should say less. Who knows what we'll encounter on our journey to exile? Let's appease her first, so she can help us out later."

"It's so frustrating. I haven't been treated like this in years."

"We've suffered because of some people, so let's just bear with it."

Listening to the women's whispers, Xu Jinhuan finally understood why this person was so arrogant.

"Today I'll teach you a saying: There's always someone stronger than you."

As soon as Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, the people in the cell were somewhat bewildered. What was she talking about? Did she, a young lady from a respectable family, really want to go toe-to-toe with Liu Shi?

Immediately, everyone's eyes widened as Xu Jinhuan lifted Liu Shi off the straw mat with both hands and threw her forcefully against the iron bars of the prison cell.

"Clang"

Liu was thrown so hard she saw stars; if it weren't for her fat cushioning her fall, she would most likely have broken a bone.

"You, you little brat, how dare you throw me like that! I'll fight you to the death!"

After Liu finished her roar, she charged at Xu Jinhuan. Xu Jinhuan easily dodged her, but Liu didn't have time to stop and crashed hard into the wall, losing consciousness.

"Tsk, they really are all brawn and no brains."

Xu Jinhuan picked up Liu Shi with disdain, then threw her far away. After dusting off his hands, he sat back down on the straw mat.

Everyone in the cell was extremely quiet because of what had just happened, and no one dared to say a word.

Xu's mother was filled with surprise. She didn't know that her found daughter knew martial arts, and seemed quite skilled at it.

Xu Youyou's face also showed a hint of surprise, but she didn't seem too worried.

Because she had just glanced at the note amidst the chaos. The Fifth Prince said he would rescue her on her way to exile and give her a new identity so she could start over.

Thinking of this, a sweet smile appeared on Xu Youyou's face. She had actually found true love in a feudal dynasty, just like the heroine in a novel.

Unfortunately, she was just a college student majoring in literature and didn't understand the chemistry of glass and gunpowder, otherwise she could have helped the Fifth Prince secure that position.

[Host, I've just detected that Xu Youyou is from another world. You should be careful.]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Xu Jinhuan replied in his mind, "Don't worry, I already knew."

This time it was System Wang's turn to be surprised. [Host, how did you discover this? It was even faster than my detection speed?]
